"Zombieland" - more comedy than gruesome

Zombieland is a horror comedy film. The plot mainly follows Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg, Adventureland) who lives in a world dominated by zombies (hence the title "Zombieland"). He has a set of "rules" that he uses to survive in Zombieland. On his journey, he encounters another human, Talahassee (Woody Harrelson) who is obsessed with Twinkies and will do anything just to eat one. On their travels, they meet two sisters, Wichita (Emma Stone, Superbad, The House Bunny, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin, Little Miss Sunshine, Nim's Island, Kit Kittredge: An American Girl, My Sister's Keeper). The sisters have their own rules of surviving Zombieland, and trick Columbus and Talahassee several times, stealing their weapons and vehicles. As they pursue the sisters, Columbus starts to fall for Wichita, but Wichita will not admit if the feeling is mutual. But what happens when the girls are trapped at the top of an amusement park ride? Do Columbus and Talahassee trust them? Bill Murray also stars as himself.

I'm not really much for horror, but I found this film thoroughly enjoyable. It wasn't as disgusting as I was expecting, and it was a lot more funny. I won't spoil any of the funny parts, but I'll say that a buddy movie in a land of zombies where a boy is dedicated to survival and a man is dedicated to finding a Twinkie is as ridiculous as it sounds... but funny nonetheless.

The film scored an R rating. Of course, there is a lot of blood and shooting, and zombies having various amounts of blood on their faces (and Bill Murray with fake blood on his face), but that's about all as far as violence goes, aside from the sisters' hijacking of the vehicles and weapons, and them getting trapped on the amusement park ride... though we also hear that Columbus's puppy and Talahassee's son were killed. As far as sexual content, there is a scene in the beginning with a half-naked zombie stripper (she has tassles on her breasts) and Talahassee asks Columbus if he is thinking about "fucking Wichita". There is some mild drinking, as well as a bong. There is quite a bit of swearing, too.

If you don't like any kind of horror film whatsoever, then avoid this one unless you have a dedication to someone in the cast. If you like horror comedy, this is the film for you. The rest should be self-explanatory.
